Eastmoor Dragons 8 Normanton Knights 30
FIRST Division Knights had the upper hand throughout this BARLA National Cup derby, booking their place in the fourth round at the expense of second division hosts.
Normanton established a first-half lead with tries through man of the match Mick Hill and hooker Chris Woolford, both converted by Hill.
Eastmoor pegged a try back early in the second half through hooker Richard Colley but it wasn't enough to turn the tide.
Full-back Mick Butterfield struck again for Knights, and while centre Leigh Joyce bagged a second Eastmoor try, it was the visitors who finished the stronger of the two sides.
Prop Dave Dunwell and wingers Andrew Greaves and Johnny Hodgson scored late-game tries with stand-off Adam Thaler adding conversion points.
Both sides return to National Conference League action on Saturday, Knights at home to Cas' Panthers in Division 1 and Eastmoor at Egremont Rangers in Division 2.
